Since this week we was our 4th of July (that's right, they don't have it in other countries) I thought I'd share some pretty true (red,white &) blue drink recipes. I just found these online so I can't attest to the greatness of them, but with some of the recipes you really can't go wrong. Or I think I'm going to try instead to do drinks with American place names. I'm sure I don't know them all, so if you know any that you'd recommend that I've forgotten feel free to add them in the comments ( o ye mythical reader). Of course none of this are really canonical recipes so I'll put which ever one catches my fancy, or the first one I find, which will probably catch my fancy.
The California Iced Tea
1/2 oz Orange Curacao
1 oz light rum
1/2 oz tequila
1/2 oz gin
1/2 oz vodka
fill with 1/2 orange juice
1 splash 7-up
Blue Hawaiian
Blend light rum, blue curacao, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut with one cup ice in an electric blender at high speed
The Long Island
1 part vodka
Mix ingredients together over ice in a glass. Pour into a shaker and give one brisk shake. Pour back into the glass and make sure there is a touch of fizz at the top
The Miami Vice
1. Mix pina colada with 2.5 oz. of rum w/ ice. Set aside.
2. Mix daiquiri with 2.5 oz. of rum w/ ice.
3. While frozen, add pina colada mix to a cocktail glass. Add the daiquiri mix on top, keeping it seperated from the pina colada mix.
Colorado Bulldog
Cape Cod
(it's a cranberry and vodka)
Lynchburg Lemonade
1 part Jack Daniels
1 part sweet and sour mix
1 part triple sec
4 parts sprite
Missouri Mule
2 parts Bourbon 2 parts applejack 2 parts lemon juice 1 part campari 1 part contreau | |||
Combine the vermouth, bourbon whiskey, and bitters with 2 - 3 ice cubes in a mixing glass. Stir gently, don't bruise the spirits and cloud the drink. Place the cherry in a chilled cocktail glass and strain the whiskey mixture over the cherry. Rub the cut edge of the orange peel over the rim of the glass and twist it over the drink to release the oils but don't drop it in.
Alabama Slammer
and here are so more drinks named after America. Of course there are other drinks that just reek of America, like a Mint Julep, a Boilermaker or the All-American
So however you do it, do it well. I think you can have a good weekend now. Sphere: Related Content
